Chapter 191: Twins
"She's met Shaoze?" Gu Chang was surprised, and there was a hint of panic in the surprise.
He didn't know that Shang Xuan was Ji Xincheng's friend, was his panic afraid that Gu Shaoze would hurt Shang Xuan?
Ji Xincheng explained quietly, "Shang Xuan is my college classmate, and we have a better time. ”
"Oh, that's it." Gu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Xincheng nodded, "Shall I help you over?" ”
Taking Gu Chang to the short distance in Shang Xuan's ward, Gu Chang couldn't control his nervousness, and frequently straightened his neckline and sleeves, Ji Xincheng was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he never pretended not to see it.
When she knocked on the door and entered, Shang Xuan was sitting on the hospital bed looking out the window in a daze, and she was very surprised to see the two of them.
"You're Shang Xuan, Xincheng's friend, aren't you?" Gu Chang was the first to speak, and his tone was cautious and flattering, like the care and care of Youyi, which surprised Ji Xincheng.
Hearing Gu Chang say his name, and seeing Ji Xincheng supporting him, Shang Xuan smiled and nodded, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Ji Xincheng helped Gu Chang to approach and explained to her: "Ah Xuan, this is Shaoze's father, my father-in-law. He was hospitalized just across the street from you, and he was bored, so I took him around, and I heard that I had friends living here, so I had to come and take a walk. ”
Gu Chang was very satisfied with Ji Xincheng's explanation, and glanced at his daughter-in-law gratefully.
When Shang Kan heard this, he hurriedly gave up his seat, "It's Uncle Gu, then please sit down, don't stand." ”
Gu Chang pulled back the chair in front of the bed, which was originally close to the head of the bed, before sitting down, which was not far away, just right.
"I'll get you some fruit." Shang Xuan said that he was going to get up, Gu Chang stood close, and immediately stepped forward to hold her, but the outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, Ji Xincheng saw it, and hurriedly walked over from the other side of the hospital bed to let Shang Xuan lie back.
"You're welcome, my dad is just bored and wants to talk to someone, so he didn't bother you, right?" Ji Xincheng said with a smile.
Shang Xuan also smiled, "No, you didn't come, I can only be in a daze alone." She turned to Gu Chang, treated the respect of the ordinary old man, and comforted him, "You came just in time, I also want to find someone to talk to, it's really boring to lie here alone." ”
"But no, how can this hospital be a place for people, if you want to get better quickly, young people, you should be jumping around and wandering around!"
"Uncle, you're talking about rabbits, these days, what young man is like that, either an artist or a madman."
The two looked at each other and laughed, and the laughter made Ji Xincheng very uneasy, although she also felt that behind this picture was the warmth and beauty of the harmony between father and daughter.
"Dad, Ah Xuan, there is a nurse here, I will go back first, Song Qi will come back from school soon." Ji Xincheng proposed to leave at the right time, she was really tired after a busy day.
And Ji Xincheng's tiredness, only Shang Xuan could see it, she said worriedly, "You have to go back quickly, if there is a nurse on Uncle's side, you have to pay attention to yourself." ”
Gu Chang only remembered that Ji Xincheng was pregnant at this time, and he was vaguely ashamed, "I'll let the driver send you back?" ”
"No, Dad, it's okay, it's convenient for me to go back by myself, the driver should stay here with you."
After the cool autumn, it gets dark early, and it is the evening rush hour after work, there are some traffic jams on the road, and when Ji Xincheng gets to his home in the taxi, the night has completely fallen. Gu Shaoze came to open the door, and when he saw her tired face, he was distressed.
"I knew you had been back for so long, so I would have gone over to pick you up."
"No, if you don't go by the way, wait for you to come and go back, it is estimated that it will be blocked for a longer time."
On the sofa, Ji Xincheng almost collapsed, Gu Shaoze picked up the person and put it on his lap, and gently massaged her, and the two were silent for a while.
"Sister-in-law Zeng made shredded pork porridge, eat a little first?" After a long time, Gu Shaoze asked softly.
Ji Xincheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and found that the light was on in the kitchen, but there was no movement, and he wondered: "Where is Sister-in-law Zeng?" ”
"My mom has prepared some nutritional products for you, she will go back and clean them up and bring them back tomorrow."
"Okay, eat some." Ji Xincheng got up as he spoke, muttering, "I didn't eat much at noon, but I'm not hungry, it's strange." ”
On this day in the hospital, there were so many facts that occupied her mind that she couldn't take care of her food and clothing for a while, but this obviously made Gu Shaoze extremely disagreeable, and she said: "It's an extraordinary time, if you don't care about it like this, I won't let you go out." ”
After setting the man into the chair and sitting down, he went to the kitchen himself to serve the porridge.
But he didn't come out for a long time.
Ji Xincheng was expected, got up and looked over, "What are you looking for?" Seeing him in front of the pot where his sister-in-law was warming the porridge, he hesitated.
"Spoon." He said.
Ji Xincheng couldn't help laughing, stood in place, took a long wooden spoon for him from behind him, and handed it over, "Gu Dashao personally went to the kitchen for me, it's really a blessing for three lives." ”
In the words, the ridicule is full of meaning.
Gu Shaoze didn't care about it this time, just chuckled, "You sit and wait for me." ”
Ji Xincheng returned to the chair as he said, Gu Shaoze quickly brought a big bowl of lean porridge, the porridge was cooked just right, Ji Xincheng suddenly had an appetite, but it was still very hot, Gu Shaoze carefully took a small bowl and took it out to cool.
"Why don't you eat it?" After Ji Xincheng was satisfied with the first bite of porridge, he squinted and asked him.
"I'm not hungry." He lowered his head and used another small bowl to cool the porridge for her in small portions, his movements were gentle, his expression was focused, and he suddenly looked up and saw Ji Xincheng looking at him in a daze, and said unexpectedly, "It's not delicious?" ”
Ji Xincheng suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's very delicious." ”
She didn't know why she was so sad in her heart, thinking that Gu Chang was so cautious with Shang Xuan, who met for the first time, putting aside nothing else, it was just that in terms of her father's feelings for her children, Ji Xincheng had never seen Gu Chang show even a similar look of concern to Gu Shaoze.
"But the way you look, this porridge doesn't taste very good." Gu Shaoze said.
Ji Xincheng was still immersed in his emotions, did not respond to him, and asked with a sorrowful doubt: "You already know about today's events, aren't you angry?" ”
"......" Gu Shaoze's hand movement stopped for a moment, and he didn't make a sound for a while.
Ji Xincheng said quickly, "It doesn't matter, it's okay if you don't want to say it, I don't necessarily want to know now." ”
"You finish this bowl of porridge, and I'll tell you slowly." He looked up and said.
Ji Xincheng looked at him carefully, and seemed to be quite relaxed, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
He explained, "It's not a good story, and it's not suitable for you to eat. ”
Hearing him say this, Ji Xincheng completely relieved his heart, smiled, and under Gu Shaoze's patient service, he took one small bowl after another until he finished eating the big bowl of porridge seriously.
But in the end, she asked him, "Then why don't you eat it?" ”
"I didn't eat lunch until three o'clock, wife." He got up and put the bowl and spoon away, handed her water and rinsed her mouth, and there was a vague grievance in his tone.
Ji Xincheng stood up and stretched, and when Gu Shaoze came out of the kitchen, he climbed on his neck, "Oh, yes?" That husband has worked hard, and I will reward you for carrying me up the stairs. ”
"Are you sure it's a reward?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked down at her, his eyes clearly smiling.
"No, compared to those who don't have a wife to hug, especially those who don't have a wife like yours, doesn't Mr. Gu feel that he is very lucky?" She withdrew a hand and tapped his handsome nose, unconsciously revealing a loving attachment.
Gu Shaoze was very useful, the smile in his eyes was deeper, and he barely had the ability to think, so he gently picked her up, and then walked upstairs slowly.
"Yes, where can I find a wife like my wife!" He continued her words, and then laughed.
Carrying her upstairs, he didn't go back to the bedroom, he went directly to the study, the sofa in the study was bigger and softer, obviously more suitable for sitting and chatting, it seemed that he was ready to tell her about the matter between Gu Chang and Shang Xuan.
Ji Xincheng sighed in his heart, and when Gu Shaoze let her down, he patted the position next to him, and when he sat down, he climbed on his lap and lay down.
Without Ji Xincheng's reminder, Gu Shaoze took the initiative to talk about the things she was curious about.
"Actually, I didn't really care about it, I just felt disappointed in my dad when I found out." His tone was indifferent, and he really didn't look bothered him very much.
Ji Xincheng stroked the warm palm he placed on the side of her face, tilted his face and asked him, "When did you know?" ”
"Just the last time at that drinking party, someone used the phone to break me away and create news that you and the actor were cheating. On the phone at that time, the other party not only told me Shang Xiaoyue's whereabouts, but also told me the reason for Shang Xiaoyue's disappearance. ”
Gu Shaoze lowered his head and looked at Ji Xincheng's eyes, his fingers entangled with her slow lines.
Ji Xincheng could feel his contemplation from his behavior, probably this truth still touched him deeply at that time, so he didn't make a sound, quietly waiting for him to say it.
"Although my dad and uncle are twins, but since childhood personality differences are huge, in my childhood little impression, the two of them rarely intersect, my dad is competitive, when I was a child, the family does not know when, everyone tacitly acquiesced that he is the inheritor of the Gu family's family business, uncle, temperament is peaceful, not easy to compete, in the eyes of grandpa is weak, so according to his own choice of interests and hobbies to develop in the direction of academics, I heard that the uncle declared before he became an adult to give up the inheritance of the family business. He rarely appeared in the public eye, I didn't see him for a long time, and later I learned that he went to school in other places, he deliberately avoided the circle related to the family, and our family did not deliberately mention it, gradually, many people did not know that my father had a younger brother, and they thought that he was the only son of the Gu family. After graduating from college, my father stayed in Longcheng to start a family, and my uncle also continued to stay in the city where the university was located to work hard, and he was already with Shang Xiaoyue at that time. ……”
Gu Chang and Tong Siya's married life is not harmonious, Gu Chang was radical when he was young, and he was competitive in everything, even in married life, after a big quarrel with Tong Siya, Gu Chang went to Gu Nan's city, he intended to live there for a while, and he happened to inspect the market around the city. At that time, Gu Nan bought a bachelor apartment there and was on a business trip, so he directly gave the key to Gu Chang and asked him to stay overnight temporarily.
Gu Chang lived in Gu Nan's house, and happened to meet Shang Xiaoyue who came to clean, Shang Xiaoyue didn't know that Gu Nan had a twin brother, and when she saw Gu Chang sick, she was only more concerned and took care of everything herself. Gu Chang wanted to tell the truth, but because he was greedy for Shang Xiaoyue's gentleness and thoughtfulness, he never revealed his identity. During that period, Tong Siya was clamoring for a divorce, Gu Chang couldn't tolerate it, and Shang Xiaoyue under the comparison between the two made him have a different mind, and he had a relationship with Shang Xiaoyue after drinking.
After sobering up, Gu Chang was very remorseful, he was an ambitious man, and his reluctance to divorce Tong Siya was not necessarily inseparable from his wife, but more inseparable from the convenience and solid support brought to him by the Tong family, so even if he was at odds with Tong Siya, he never provoked marriage on the issue of women, so he secretly left afterwards.
At that time, Shang Xiaoyue and Gu Nan had not officially lived together, and Gu Nan often traveled for work, and Shang Xiaoyue had no doubts about this. It wasn't until Gu Nan went back that he heard the news of Shang Xiaoyue's pregnancy and was shocked. Gu Nan is conservative by nature, and he treats Shang Xiaoyue even more trustworthy, and he didn't touch her before he realized that he didn't give her enough conditions to support a complete home.
Gu Nan's shocked appearance made Shang Xiaoyue very hurt, thinking that he didn't want to be responsible, and told everything that happened in the apartment before, Gu Nan knew that it was Gu Chang's doing, and at the same time he also knew that Shang Xiaoyue couldn't bear such a truth, so he didn't reveal the truth, but took Shang Xiaoyue back to Gu's house to plead with his parents to let them get married.
Although the Gu family's parents objected, Gu Nan quickly relented on the grounds that Shang Xiaoyue was pregnant. But after Shang Xiaoyue saw Gu Chang, she found that things didn't seem right, she obviously noticed that the "Gu Nan" in the apartment before was different from usual, because he was sick at that time, she didn't think much about it, and now when she saw this twin brother who was almost exactly the same as Gu Nan, she instantly understood.
Shang Xiaoyue was very brave, and immediately asked Gu Chang to question, in Gu Chang's study, although Gu Shaoze was young, he still had some impressions, Gu Shaoze thought it was an uncle, and after many years, he realized that the man was about his father. Gu Chang proposed to compensate with money and let Shang Xiaoyue take the child, but Shang Xiaoyue refused, not that she was unwilling, but that such a thing happened to her, and she couldn't accept it at all for a while.
"Even if the grandparents later agreed to the uncle's desperate request, Shang Xiaoyue disappeared, and the uncle has not stopped looking for her for a day since then......" Gu Shaoze sighed after saying this long and tortuous past.
Ji Xincheng was motionless and nestled in his arms, and he had already heard it out of the world.
"It's hard to believe that there is such a thing in the world, is it?" After a while, I heard Gu Shaoze ask her like this.
